Tera Murray is a chef instructor for Silver Fork at the Center on Halsted,

a free seven-week culinary readiness program. Murray’s work with Silver Fork and

other similar programs serves as a means to humanize individuals facing stigma and

challenges, and equip them with real-world culinary skills in an uplifting

environment. Now, Murray has decided to leave the culinary industry in pursuit of

becoming a trauma-informed therapist. This is what their Chicago sounds like.
